Ryman announces completion of Institutional Entitlement Offer
Ryman is pleased to announce that it has successfully completed the institutional
component (Institutional Entitlement Offer) of its fully underwritten 1 for 2.81
accelerated pro-rata entitlement offer (Offer), as announced on 15 February 2023.
Ryman received strong support from existing institutional shareholders with eligible
institutional shareholders (excluding the pre-committed shareholders
1
) electing to take
up approximately 95% of their entitlements under the Institutional Entitlement Offer.
The take up rate including the pre-committed shareholders was approximately 75%.
CEO Richard Umbers said, “We are very pleased with the level of support received
from our insitutional shareholders. These proceeeds, together with the proceeds from
the Retail Entitlement Offer opening tomorrow, will strengthen our balance sheet,
better enable Ryman to execute its growth framework, and allow Ryman to maintain
the high standard of care it is known for – care which is to be ‘Good Enough for Mum
or Dad’”
Institutional Entitlement Offer
Approximately $542 million was raised under the Institutional Entitlement Offer
(subject to final reconciliation of institutional shareholdings), with the Institutional
Bookbuild (for the entitlements not taken up by institutional shareholders or
attributable to ineligible institutional shareholders) well supported.
The Institutional Bookbuild clearing price of $6.00 per share represents a 20%
premium over the Offer Price of $5.00. Eligible institutional shareholders who elected
not to take up their entitlements and ineligible institutional shareholders will receive
the premium ($1. 00) for each entitlement not taken up by them (less any applicable
taxes).

The New Shares issued under the Institutional Entitlement Offer will rank equally with

Shares issued as part of the Institutional Entitlement Offer is expected to occur on
Friday, 24 February 2023.
